It's objectively fair. Bluesky is heavily dominated by US democrat politics and nothing else.

By what metrics do you measure this? perhaps is why you seem to be on your own and are upset at all the others worried about the decline.

So its declining is what you're saying? But your entire article is 'ignore the haters'

You know what that means. You're being dismissive of their complaints for what reason?

I don't use Bluesky at all, but the author's point stands. The politicization of social media is making people realize the inherent liberal bias of the internet. An average day reading X is like following Fox News retractions in-media-res, it's starting to look like you can't take the public opinion for granted without looking like Simple Jack.
Personally I think Bluesky is headed for the toilet in much the same way X is. Both are neo-reactionary platforms with no appeal to people with interests outside the hilariously pitiful American political zeitgeist.
